SHINRA
The Shinra Electric Power Company is a large corporation that pretty much runs the planet. They have a monopoly on the power, the waterways, and the gas pipelines of the world. They also have millitary and pollitical power and have develloped millitary power including biological weaponds and a space program. They build gigantic Makou draining power plants in city's such as Nibulheim and Midgar. Five years ago their plant in Nibulheim exploded, killing most of the residents of the town including the wife of Barret Wallace who is the current leader of the terrorist group Avalanche, leveling the entire town. This incident also resulted in the apparent death of Sephiroth, the greatest soldier on the planet. The Shinra reactor in Midgar city was recently destroyed in a terrorist attack by the Avalanche. The company has no concern for the planet's well being therefore the Avalanche is dedicated to stopping them at every turn.
